​Wake up, my soul!Wake up, people of God!Our singing will wake up the day.Our praise will echo around the world.Be lifted high, O God,above the stars!Pour out your gloryover all the earth!

Have mercy, O God, we run to youShelter us from the storms. Hide us under your wings, safe and warm.Protect us from all harm.Be lifted high, O God,above the stars!Pour out your gloryover all the earth!
